A few days later.
A modified van departed from Gotham and, after a long journey, arrived in Central City.
Gotham is in New Jersey on the East Coast, while Central City is located on the East Coast in a position similar to Los Angeles. The two places are far apart, and it would be faster to fly, but Nora's condition is not suitable for being on a plane. Changes in air pressure, coupled with the low temperature of the ice coffin, could lead to some adverse consequences.
Moreover, Shimizu's White Warrior also couldn't pass the security checks at the train station and airport. Even if Shimizu used Chakra threads to assemble it into a cube resembling a large suitcase, the high-explosive substances stored in the rockets inside would still be detected by scanning.
"Oh, hey, Catherine, why are you answering the phone?"
On the street, Shimizu sat in the passenger seat, looking at the road ahead while on the phone. Beside him was a subordinate named Ang, acting as the driver.
This person is also a founding elder of the Hogg Joint Venture. He is skilled in car repair and modification. Over the past year, he has undergone training by Aman and some retired officers, and can be considered a qualified combatant who has mastered the use of most cold and hot weapons and possesses a certain degree of fighting ability.
Now, the Hogg Joint Venture is a large and prosperous enterprise, different from the past. Usually, it still needs Aman and the accountant, these two confidants with qualifications, a certain prestige, and good abilities after training, to maintain normal operation when Shimizu is not around.
"Sorry, we may be temporarily unavailable now."
Catherine held the phone between her shoulder and ear, while typing on the keyboard, sending the location to Cisco and the others.
"Everyone's busy now? Okay, I see, it's quite lively. Barry's not here right now, do you need any help?"
Shimizu looked at a woman dressed in strange clothes and covered in jewelry suddenly disappearing on the street ahead, and a yellow lightning bolt suddenly streaking past. He spoke into the phone.
Not long after he left Central City last time, the battle between Barry and the villain Zoom caused a Speed Force riot.
In order to prevent the turbulence in the Speed Force space from causing a large amount of energy to leak and destroy Central City, Barry chose to enter the Speed Force space alone, where he, the creator of the Speed Force, constantly ran to stabilize the Speed Force space with the Speed Force generated during his running.
In other words, Barry Allen is now trapped in the Speed Force space.
However, during that incident, Iris's younger brother, Wally West, was also affected by the Speed Force, gaining a portion of the Speed Force's power and becoming Kid Flash, taking over the Flash's duties.
It's just that this Kid Flash is still in the novice stage, and his speed is much slower than Barry's before.
"I don't think we need it. Wally will force her into the trap set by Cisco, and then he will directly use his vibe powers to teleport her to the metahuman prison in STAR Labs."
As Catherine spoke, the teleporter was chased by Wally onto a large bridge in Central City.
The terrain here is narrow, and with the teleporter's teleportation ability, she can only teleport on the bridge.
When she had just arrived on the bridge, Cisco, who was lying in ambush on the bridge, used his vibe powers to imprison her body.
The latter used one hand to control the teleporter with his vibe powers, and the other hand used his vibe powers to open a portal to the metahuman prison in STAR Labs. The moment he released his vibe powers, Kid Flash pounced on her before she could react and used his speed to close the cage door and turn on the power dampener on the door.
On the bridge, Cisco pressed his earpiece.
"Oh oh oh, I seem to hear the voice of a certain old buddy on my channel, Catherine?"
"It's Walter, he wants to borrow our equipment here to treat a patient."
"Where are they? Do you want me to pick them up?"
Catherine immediately relayed Cisco's meaning to Shimizu.
Shimizu glanced at the house number on the street building, stated the address, and signaled Ang to stop the car.
Two seconds later, a blue vortex-like teleportation portal appeared on the other side of the street, and Cisco's figure walked out.
"Hey! Buddy, long time no see!"
Seeing an old friend, Cisco seemed quite happy.
"It's been a few months since we last met."
Shimizu shook hands with Cisco.
I'm not protecting Gotham, I'm just protecting my own territory.
"Okay, what about the patient you mentioned earlier?"
Cisco looked at the van behind him and followed Shimizu to open the sliding door of the carriage.
"This is..."
Cisco looked curiously at Mr. Freeze.
This guy looks a bit like a Smurf, except he's wearing a suit of armor.
No mistake, read it all at once!
"Hello, you must be Walter's friend! I am Dr. Victor Fries. I became like this due to an accident in a low-temperature physics experiment. My normal body temperature is below zero, and I need to rely on this armor to move around."
Mr. Freeze shook hands with Cisco.
"So... you're our patient this time?"
Cisco looked at Mr. Freeze, remembering what Catherine looked like when she turned into Killer Frost.
Both of them were emitting cold air, but Catherine looked a little better.
"No, it's my wife, Nora!"
Mr. Freeze slightly stepped aside, showing the ice coffin behind him to Cisco.
"Okay, looks like I need to open a bigger portal."
Cisco turned around and released a portal large enough for two or three people to pass through in the open space behind him.
"Um... sorry, my ability can't temporarily make a car pass through."
Cisco maintained the portal with his vibe powers in one hand, and shrugged apologetically with the other.
"It's okay, Victor and I will send Nora in together. Ang, park the car in the parking space next to us and come over to lend a hand."
Shimizu dragged the large suitcase transformed from the White Warrior and followed Ang and Mr. Freeze, who were carrying the ice coffin, into the portal.
"Wally, we'll release the anesthetic gas towards the teleporter later. Go take off the jewelry on her and return it to the jewelry store."
When Shimizu just walked out of the portal, Catherine, who had just finished explaining to Kid Flash, also turned her head and saw Mr. Freeze walking in front of Shimizu at a glance.
"You are..."
Catherine inexplicably felt that the person in front of her looked familiar.
"Long time no see, Catherine. I heard that you now have as many doctoral degrees as I do."
